This has the making of a great ghost story.
In reality, the "One thing the Stalin hotel won't remind guests about, however, is the
nightmarish side of a totalitarian regime that imprisoned millions of
people in the Gulag."
With a little artistic license Stalin's Dacha becomes a center of pilgrimage for a few American academics, who believe that, in fact, their god did not fail. Only to find that they've been plunged into a dark Communist nightmare. Will it change their minds? Who knows. Who cares. The first order of business is mere survival.
It has potential. Maybe.
